Overclocking Intel i950 and Nvidia Geforce GTX 460
Have just overclocked my Intel i950 to 3.8 mainly as off work and got a small bored Grin on a x58udr3 and even though my processor score in windows 7 went from 7.5 to, had to minor rating on overclock for steadiness, my card gtx460 1gb went down from 7.6 to 7.5, this doesn’t bother me as i have no purpose of keeping overclock and guessing windows 7 scoring is not most accurate but still found a little puzzling.

I wouldn't even want to start guessing why the rating in the WEI went down for your graphics card when you overclocked the system but I can't say it really surprises me. The whole index is a waste of time and so inaccurate that there is no point in using it. If you want to benchmark your system make use of a reliable, trusted tool that is analogous on the internet

Really I wouldn’t bother with windows 7's rating.First off its inconsistent cause it doesn’t run the benchmark for long enough. Secondly the HD rating is capped at 5.9 unless you have an SSD. I once got a 5.1 rating on my HD5870 for god's sake. And it is possible if your overclock isn’t stable to reduce your overall performance so I am guessing it could generate a reduction in your graphics performance. But before you does anything else run a polite benchmark!

I encounter the same matter when i use after burner on my OC. the card perform not as good as for some motive, when you OC via afterburner, on top of the MB oc.
